Multiple Myeloma in Young Patients : A Scoping Review

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Data on the disease course, presenting features, outcomes, and prognosis of younger patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are lacking. Younger patients with MM have historically been considered to have better outcomes primarily based on better tolerance of treatment and lack of medical comorbidities, but the specific age range of this population has not been uniformly defined. Given the lack of consistent data reporting in patients considered to be young MM patients, we performed a scoping review to highlight the research currently available to start drawing conclusions about these patients and highlight unmet areas of need to focus on further investigation. We searched Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, and the OVID version of MEDLINE including broad terms that embody the concept of young patients with MM. Our final review included 201 studies which were then categorized according to age group, number of patients, outcomes, and comparators to older patients, along with location and database when available. We have chosen to categorize 3 age groupings: <50: young adults with MM (YA MM), 50 to 65: mid-life adults with multiple myeloma (ML MM) and 65+: older adults with multiple myeloma (OA MM). This review demonstrates the heterogeneity that exists in defining and describing young patients with MM, highlights the lack of studies specifically addressing the unique needs of younger patients, and emphasizes areas of future research unique to this population.
